<h2><a name="renameexts">RenameExtensions</a></h2>
<h3><i>Deprecated</i></h3>
<p><i>This task has been deprecated.  Use the <a href="../Tasks/move.html">move</a>
task with a <a href="../Types/mapper.html#glob-mapper">glob mapper</a> instead.</i></p>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>Renames files in the <code>srcDir</code> directory ending with the
<code>fromExtension</code> string so that they end with the
<code>toExtension</code> string. Files are only replaced if
<code>replace</code> is true
</p>
<p>See the section on
<a href="../dirtasks.html#directorybasedtasks">directory based tasks</a>, on how the
inclusion/exclusion of files works, and how to write patterns.
This task forms an implicit <a href="../Types/fileset.html">FileSet</a> and
supports most attributes of <code>&lt;fileset&gt;</code>
(<code>dir</code> becomes <code>srcDir</code>) as well as the nested
<code>&lt;include&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;exclude&gt;</code> and
<code>&lt;patternset&gt;</code> elements.</p>
